Tara Priya

Don’t be fooled by her sweet persona and her playfulness, because Tara Priya is so much more than that. The London bureau of BBC calls her voice something that “you just need to hear,” and why not? Tara is half-Persian, half-Indian, and all soul. The California-based songstress has been listening to ’60s pop ever since she was a tot. Priya cites Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Etta James, and even Tupac Shakur as some of her influences, which probably resulted in the diverse yet accessible brand of music that she currently possesses.
